Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225

After a few moments, a burning sensation seemed to have built up between them.

Aurelia held her breath.

She could sense that Leslie’s breath was quickening and he even started leaning in.

She didn’t dodge but gripped the sheets nervously.

What was he going to do?

“Your hair is hanging off your lashes,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“Hm? Oh.” She got up and combed through her hair to cover her blushing cheeks.

Leslie got up as well and turned toward the door.

“I’ll go to my study. You can go ahead and shower first.”

“Okay.”

Once the door shut, Aurelia covered her face.

Why would she think that Leslie wanted to kiss her?

It was a ridiculous thought.

Regaining her composure, she grabbed her clothes and went to shower.

In the study, Leslie stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Aurelia’s scent still lingered on his fingers.

Something must have been wrong with him, because he had the urge to kiss Aurelia just now.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and tried to calm himself down.

However, when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Aurelia’s blushing face.

His body tensed at the thought.

He immediately took a few more drags, and soon the cigarette was finished.

While rolling another one, his phone on the table rang.

Glancing at the number, he immediately calmed down and his voice took on its usual composure.

“It’s me.”

“I tried reaching you today,” the woman’s voice was cautious and gentle.

“I know,” he said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if the caller was waiting for Leslie to continue.

Perhaps she was waiting for him to explain who the woman on the phone was, or why he was in the shower.

But none of that came as Leslie remained the same cold and indifferent person he had always been.
